RE: color change

The filament sensor could be out of adjustment. 
this can happen due to  engineering / printing differences  on the printer, and it can also happen as a printer ages, and the filament path wears larger. 

many people find that a spacer washer underneath the filament sensor PCB raises the sensor, just enough to resolve the problem Below are links to two versions that can be found on Thingiverse.

I Hope one of them works for you.
